Jonna Andersson (born 2 January 1993) is a Swedish football defender who plays for English club Chelsea and the Sweden women's national football team.

Club career

Andersson signed for Linköpings FC in 2009 and made two league appearances in her first season as the club won the Damallsvenskan title. After three seasons where she was mainly a substitute, in the 2013 season she became an important starting player on the team.[1]

International career

As a Sweden under-19 international Andersson featured at the 2012 UEFA Women's U-19 Championship in Turkey.[2] Sweden won the tournament by beating Spain 1–0 in the final after extra time.[3]

National team coach Pia Sundhage called up Andersson for the first time in January 2016 for a friendly against Scotland, as a replacement for Amanda Ilestedt who had a back injury. She played at left-back as the Scots were drubbed 6–0 at Prioritet Serneke Arena.[4] Andersson retained her place in the squad for the 2016 UEFA Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament.[5]
